Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, once enlightenment occurs … is it a possibility that it can be reversed and one’s soul vibration can decrease below the 7th dimension and reach lower dimensions? Or is that just for functioning in the gross world? ~Jaskaran, India

ANSWER: “Enlightenment” for a soul having a human experience means getting an awareness of their true essence as a piece of Source energy and then using that to complete the lessons they chose for this incarnation. To talk about seven or even an endless number of dimensions is to engage in ego judgment, which occurs only within the duality of the Earth plane.

The main element of enlightenment on Earth is to step away from judgment, which is the urge to rate, grade, or judge the actions in which you engage. The goal is to be free of negativity and embrace positive, loving energy, thus going from judging into evaluating. The only questions then become: Is this something from which I can learn? and Do I desire that experience?

We teach a simplistically understandable transition. The third dimension is completely physical and has all the human characteristics of height, width, and breadth within a dualistic environment, so the soul may learn by the choices they make. The fourth dimension is still physical (so contact with negativity is still possible) but with the possibility of touching the nonphysical, where negativity does not exist and all is pure unconditional love. The fifth dimension is the realm of Source, and only unconditionally loving energy abides.

If you question whether someone who has shed negativity may revert back to its use, the answer is yes. Do they forget what it is like to be in positive loving energy? The answer is no, but they have the choice to experience what they desire. Can one go from the nonphysical to the physical? No, not in the same body – but yes, through reincarnation in another body.

QUESTION: Masters as far as I understand, my Higher Self is limitless, unmanifested Consciousness. Living with this body, mind and limited senses is like living in the prison. Why is that? What is the difference between Soul and Consciousness? ~Kaarina, Finland

ANSWER: A definition of “consciousness” has been the life work of many philosophers, theologians, and spiritualists. They all tend to agree that it denotes a type of awareness, but on an awareness of what, and in what state, they diverge. This is another case where we have been asked to use your limited Earthly language to describe something that transcends physical oral communications and can mean different things in different arenas.

To the human being, consciousness can mean an awakeness of the functioning body as opposed to a comatose state. This involves the physical aspects of self only. Philosophically, it extends to the mental faculties as used in thought and feeling, but here again, that is in the physical realm. In a spiritual sense, it generally connotes an awareness of the nonphysical essence of self, or the soul. This goes beyond the physical body and includes everything that the body and soul are and can be.

As for the term “soul,” most would agree that it refers to the energetic essence that broke off, and was individualized, from Source for the purpose of gaining wisdom. The soul is nonphysical in and of itself but has the ability to inhabit a physical shell or body. “Higher self” is the term many apply to the amount of the soul’s essence that is within the human body, communicates with both the physical and nonphysical aspects, and has access to the universal consciousness.

The human aspects of the soul’s Earth journey are restrictive and limiting because humans generally can access and utilize only the amount of knowledge or awareness that they have self-experienced during the present lifetime. But this limitation is actually the reason that human existence can permit the gathering of wisdom through mastering life lessons.

When one becomes conscious of their essence, they tap into all the knowledge they have gathered over many lifetimes. They understand the nature of a soul and yearn for the freedom that escape from the restrictive body can allow. This is the stage in which you find yourself – you understand the possibilities of existing as your true self.

QUESTION: Masters, can you explain the system of hierarchy at home, please? Do older souls with more experience and knowledge…such as the Ascended Masters… hold higher authority? Do the colors of the orbs of energy change with experience? Who organizes things? ~Jane, UK

ANSWER: Since a soul having a human experience is brought up and lives in an ego based, judgmental society where everything and everyone is rated, graded, and judged, you expect that to be the situation everywhere. In order to have judgments, you have to be in an arena where there is negativity, an inferior or superior aspect to every possibility. The only place this exists is on planet Earth. Therefore, there are no judgments, grading, or rating – hence, no hierarchy – anywhere but on Earth.

All souls are the same; none is any better than, more important than, or in charge of making decisions for, any other. The title “Ascended Master” implies only that the soul has achieved mastery of everything possible about a particular human characteristic.

For instance, they might have mastered all experiences concerning the element of control. That just means that they have been controlled and, additionally, in control during many lifetimes, exploring all aspects of control so that they can teach the subject to other inquiring souls who wish to decide if such a life would benefit their enlightenment process.

A soul makes its own decisions – it is never told by anyone what it must, or even should, do. It is only in taking responsibility for using their freedom of choice that wisdom is gained. While each soul has a group of twelve advisors to assist them in planning their journeys to Earth, even they don’t hold any authority over the soul.

The orbs of energy that may be seen by humans are just a visual means of communication. The colors are completely arbitrary and chosen by the soul as an expression of who they are. Further, communication in the nonphysical world, where the soul does not have a voice box, is by means of vibrations, sound, and color.

Organization is a group affair. If they want to have a mass experience to see how something is going to affect the world, they get together and all incarnate at the same time, forming a sufficient number to have an impact. This is what has happened in the case of all major disasters, wars, or movements.
